Mr. Wang Jiangguo and his wife, Ms. Zhao Qiumei, from Jilin City were arrested on March 2nd 2006, by Nanjing Police Substation officers in the Chuanying District led by Tan Xinqiang. Ms. Zhao Qiumei was later sentenced to one year of forced labour. Mr. Wang Jiangguo was tortured to death on April 10th at the Jilin City Detention Centre after he was savagely force-fed and tortured in an attempt to extort a confession from him. He was 30 years old when he was tortured to death. On April 13th, a memorial service was planned in his home, where people could come to express their condolences.

Brutally Tortured to Death at the Detention Centre within 40 Days: Justice Will Not Tolerate Persecution for Being a Good Person

After the bier was set up, Mr. Wang's family, friends and relatives, neighbours and villagers came to offer their condolences. Most of the villagers shed tears and said: "It is a huge injustice for this young man to die."

On the morning on April 28th, the police of the Shahezi Police Substation went to Mr. Wang Jiangguo's uncle's home and said, "Today, we will solve Mr. Wang Jiangguo's problem." As a result, the Shahezi Police Substation took three members of Mr. Wang Jiangguo's family to the Jilin City Detention Centre. This time was different from the previous times. They took his family to a big meeting hall. They had only just entered the hall when they saw a poster announcing "the Meeting Regarding the Suicide Incident". In total, 18 people from Jilin City Chuanyin District Procuratorate, the Nanjing Police Substation, the Jilin City Detention Centre, and the Jilin City 610 Office were already there. Also they had their cameras ready.

A Mr. Li, who claimed to be from the Jilin National Security Team and the head of the 610 Office, read to Mr. Wang Jiangguo's family a "Statement about Mr. Wang Jiangguo Being Jailed at the Jilin City Detention Centre". They also threatened Mr. Wang's family. They concluded by telling the family that, first, the family had to have Mr. Wang Jiangguo's body cremated within one day; second, the memorial pavilion had to be taken down on April 29th; and third, Mr. Wang Jiangguo's death had nothing to do with the public security bureau, because he had committed suicide.

Mr. Wang Jiangguo's family resisted this with righteous thoughts, saying, "If you do not solve the problem, we will appeal the case one level after another. We will appeal from the local level to the central government. This is not the end of the matter." The authorities felt guilty and quickly ended the meeting.

Some policemen also said in anger, "In the future, don't come to see us about these matters. We thought we were supposed to really solve the problem. It is a real shame. You as the family should file a lawsuit against them [the other policemen]."
